Israeli settlers torch Palestinian farm in ‘price tag’ attack | Maan News Agency

NABLUS (Ma’an) — Israeli settlers early Wednesday set fire to an animal farm in the northern West Bank on Wednesday, a Palestinian official said.

Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official who monitors settler activity in the northern West Bank, told Ma’an that a group of settlers set fire to a sheep farm in Aqraba village south of Nablus at 3 a.m.

Palestinians managed to round up the sheep, but the steel structure surrounding the farm was destroyed by the fire, Daghlas said.

Settlers spray-painted the words “blood vengeance” and “price tag” in Hebrew on the outer walls of the farm, he added.

The farm belongs to Fadi Basim Bani Jabir.

Daghlas said the settlers came from the illegal settlement of Itamar south of Nablus.

Later, in the Bethlehem district, Israeli settlers hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles as they drove on a road near the village of Husan, locals said.

A number of vehicles were hit and sustained damages, they said.

The attacks come in the wake of the burial of three Israeli teens who were found dead in the Hebron district on Monday.

Hours after they were buried on Tuesday, around hundreds of Israelis marched through Jerusalem, stopping cars and shouting “Death to Arabs,” police and witnesses said.

Deeply Divided Israel Unites in Grief and Sees a Larger Purpose – NYTimes.com

On Netanyahu’s head for yesterday’s revenge talk! Possible Revenge Killing Adds to Tension in Israel – NYTimes.com

“The coming days, you can’t expect what will happen — the situation will get worse and worse,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, who works with the Palestine section of Defense for Children International. “The occupation and the cycle of violence should be ended to guarantee there is no further loss of life.”

Continue reading the main story

Mr. Netanyahu spoke before noon with Mr. Aharonovich, the internal security minister, and requested that “investigators act as quickly as possible to find out who stands behind the despicable murder,” according to a statement from the prime minister’s office. Mr. Netanyahu called on all sides not to take the law into their own hands, saying, “Israel is a state of law and everybody is obligated to act according to the law.”

As news of the killing spread, the police increased their presence in Jerusalem. Clashes broke out between Palestinian youths and Israeli security forces along the main road that links the neighborhoods of Beit Hanina and Shuafat. Dozens of teenagers, some using slingshots, hurled stones at the security officers, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades.

Shelters at stops along Jerusalem’s light rail line, which runs through Arab and Jewish neighborhoods, were smashed, and smoke from tires set ablaze hovered over the area. The police barred Jews from entering the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City to avoid rioting.

Sell Out Nutrition Group Lobbies Against Healthier School Meals It Sought, Citing Cost – NYTimes.com

{Big corporations want profit and care not if children suffer!}

“They sold their souls to the devil,” said Stanley C. Garnett, a former Agriculture Department official who ran the agency’s child nutrition division. He was a member of the School Nutrition Association who resigned in protest of the lobbying campaign.

The devils in this case, the association’s critics say, are the dozens of food companies that have paid millions in sponsorship fees to the School Nutrition Association, covering over half of its $10.5 million annual budget.

Reacting to the association’s change of heart, the House Appropriations Committee has passed a spending bill with a provision that would allow schools to waive the nutrition standards during the school year that begins in the fall. A vote by the full House is tentatively set after the Fourth of July recess. A similar amendment was offered for Senate spending bills, but Democrats canceled the debate after disagreeing with Republicans over that and other amendments.

Poverty, Greed, and Unintended Harm – Costa Rica Enforces Green Justice | Inter Press Service

As well as inspecting specific cases, the TAA carries out “environmental sweeps,” their term for inspection tours lasting several days, with the purpose of putting a stop to ecological damage in a given territory.

The TAA has already halted 200 real estate projects on the Pacific coast and 40 on the Atlantic coast since the sweeps started in 2008, its president said.

But the “bad guys” do not give up. Only days after Sánchez’s inspection trip, another group of lawyers, experts and judges visited mangrove swamps in Puntarenas, in the Central Pacific region, 80 kilometres east of the provincial capital, to investigate another complaint.

They found a scene of devastation: 25 hectares of mangrove had been reduced to ashes by invaders who were already planting maize and sugarcane.

“They go on and on, and if we let them they would devour the whole zone. They burn down the mangroves and use the land for farming,” forest biologist Alexis Madrigal, the coordinator of TAA’s technical department, told IPS at the scene.

Neo-Nazis in Barcelona: WATCH: Viral video of racist beating ‘Chinese guy’ on Barcelona metro: Shanghaiist

Passengers intervene, dragging the aggressor away.

The video was reportedly first uploaded to the Twitter account of the man who shot the video, which displayed Nazi motifs and the slogan: “Always a patriot, white Europe.” It was later taken down.

The same camera man, who was reportedly in cahoots with the aggressor, tweeted: “The Chinese guy insulted us and the Russian (attacker) made him shut up.”

Another tweet read: “@6sonya said that he (the victim) said to us we weren’t Chinese and was giving us filthy looks.”

Thankfully, most of the reactions were sympathetic to the victim. Said Barcelona city hall: “We want to make it clear that attitudes like this are not acceptable in our city.”

5 Superhuman Ways to Crush Anxiety. | Rebelle Society

It is counterintuitive to our conditioned thinking of more, more, more to believe that the most important gift we can give ourselves is to kick some things to the MF curb. What does this have to do with anxiety? Anxiety arises anytime you are not living your truth.

The second you deviate from your authenticity, you will be notified by your bodily experience and the Universe (God of your understanding). For some, this is a full-fledged panic attack. For others, face-first-diving into an entire pan of brownies. Or a bottle of tequila. Or both.

Time for the emperors-in-waiting who run Facebook to just admit they’re evil | Charlie Brooker | Commentisfree | The Guardian

In other words, the fine folk at Facebook are so hopelessly disconnected from ground-level emotional reality they have to employ a team of scientists to run clandestine experiments on hundreds of thousands of their “customers” to discover that human beings get upset when other human beings they care about are unhappy.

But wait! It doesn’t end there. They also coolly note that their fun test provides “experimental evidence for massive-scale contagion via social networks”. At least we can draw comfort from the fact that this terrifying power to sway the emotional state of millions is in the right hands: an anonymous cabal of secret experimenters who don’t know what “empathy” is.
